Why Don't More People Love Audio?

Eminent Technology LFT-VIIa

Good ROCK speakers
I agree with sean, im using saturns now and love them. Ive been in this hobby for 30 years and have went through alot of systems. The really high end speakers sometimes are very very clinical and dont go good with rock. They are good for sitting a...
